Artist Statement for Katarzyna Turajczyk

I am a very independent person, and probably my paintings are too. Not difficult, but every painting is different. There is not only one style that I like to work in. Recently I rediscovered the abstract style.
I don’t paint because of the trend, the mode, the latest style. I paint because something or somebody fascinates me, or because I am fascinated by something or somebody.
It could be nature, a landscape, a face, a story, an event, details of something, colours, a song, an object, my feelings, my thoughts, my dreams: - never-ending possibilities of improbability.
I paint figurative, often fantastic paintings, including portraits, still life, collages, landscapes and nudes. I work with oil, watercolour and pastel. Very sporadically I work with acrylics. In my collages and abstracts I use paper, pictures, articles, flowers, stones, poems and anything else I can lay my hands on.
I definitely love beauty. I am trying to express my personal sense of beauty and being myself in my paintings.
I believe that we are here on this planet by accident and not for long, actually. And because our existence is meaningless we shouldn’t take ourselves so damn seriously. If we could do this our lives would be 100% more tolerable. Our duty is to be happy, honest and free. Free in our minds. I hope I express this way of thinking in my paintings.
When I paint it is because I love it and I need it at that moment.
Creation and art’s spirit thrive on the freedom and independence of the individual.
When placed in a cage it withers and dies.
